Simon,
Re your business case discussion, sites such as www.familygp.com.au
would not help.
Cheers,

Joomla Jim?
I was thinking along these lines for my article.
For about $25 for a domain, $100 for a years hosting, $0 for Joomla and
$20-$100 for a suitable front end template you can slap together a
fairly decent looking website that can be easily updated by folks with
low-moderate IT ability.
Template customisation (inserting practice logo and colour scheme etc)
is the only tricky thing, though this could be outsourced to an IT
person with only basic web design skills - perhaps 1 hours work at most.
Once installed, Joomla is fairly straight forward to drive and most
folks I've trained can do all the essential things after an hour or
less.
So the technical case is straight forward, but as Greg indicates, the
business case probably isn't.
Cheers,
Simon
Simon,
Given your readership, many of whom no doubt want to try their hand,
maybe the article should focus on the sort of do-it-yourself approach
you've just outlined, and let the readers decide if they have a business
case or not.
When I did my Grad. Dip. IT at UTS, a group of four of us doing
"Programming on the Internet" revamped a single page site that the
Director of Postgraduate Studies in the Faculty of Design, Architecture
and Building had whipped up in a one-afternoon web design course he'd
done. It had become his largest source of overseas fee-paying students
via it's simple 'mail-to'.
We expanded it with course details, improved appearance, a web form to
simplify the contact process, etc. It was no doubt a better site, but I
don't know if it got him any more students or not.
